The Gradey Dick Thread Part 2

[WuTang_CMB]

it was all body related. had to catch up to the speed of the game and so far he's now on par with the rest , and now he's getting his confidence back. kid could always play

credit to him and to whatever program he was on

So much of this forum had sadly written off Dick a long time ago, and now they have to eat it.

Right on time, he's cementing himself in the top 8-10 before the trade deadline.

Yup...Raptors RealGM loves the knee-jerk reactions. Giving up on a guy 4 months into his career is about as dumb as it gets for many of the haters.

Starting to look more like his KU self.

They ain't know about the statistical variances, Johnny-boy. They just don't know.

He's moving his feet on defense, and doesn't reach for steals allowing him to stay in good position.

I dont know if it was mentioned, but he is one of the more popular players from his draft class.(he even had his own thread on the GB) That added pressure can be overwhelming for a rookie.

He deserves a ton of credit for handling his early struggles like a pro. I think will contribute next year (avg 20 min), and might start a couple games at the end of season.

I already know you had no opinion on him. Because that would mean having an opinion.

[TOStateofMind]

Best part for him is he'll get the reps he needs now for the rest of the season.

What stood out was bold above. It felt very, very wrong.

[Scase]

Happy to see him stringing some decent games together, hope he can keep it up.

Watch on YouTube

This is footage of Gradey when he's comfortable and confident. Once he starts to adjust to the NBA we can expect this kind of confident and assertive gameplay, all within the rhythm of the offense.

Also, I saw people write that the reason Gradey was struggling from deep is because his 3 point attempts were mostly right at the college 3 point line and that he lacks true NBA range. That's just incredibly false.

Let's just not get overly committed on the early streets, Johnny.

Gradey is finally back above 30% from 3 for the season.

Hopefully he can continue improving that number.

Good to see him playing a lot better this month, keep giving him 20+ minutes

gotta stop doing his drive jump turn back oh **** searching for a pass mid air and I don't know what he was doing pump faking Trae closing in on him when he was alone under the basket That made me laugh but rookie things

Gradey is gonna get more than 20 mpg for the rest of this season, especially after we trade Trent for a 2nd rounder at the deadline. At +19,he was our highest plus player in this game.

Next season, it depends on whether we get a top 6 pick who has to start. But Gradey - assuming his shot comes back for good - will be a 6th man, getting 25-30 mpg. He just makes things happen out there.

Masai has done it again

Gradey was a steal and will turn out to be the best player in this draft outside of Wemby

[DreamTeam09]

It was always a physical thing for him, he came back from that 2week sabbatical looking bigger.
I'd be disappointed if he doesn't come into training camp looking visabily bigger again. Push ups, pull ups and dips.

He needs to add bulk to his lower body. He looks like a different player and a guy that should close games. The only issue is him getting targeted on defense.

[BillNyeBballGuy]

Can't wait until the off season and Dick gets on a bulking workout regimen and we can all say Dick added 10lb of muscle...Dick is HUGE

I can see the posts already:
